Umbilical cord begins trying within hours after birth and is shriveled and black and by the second or third day within 7 to 10 days a sloth off in the umbilicus hill during this transition frequent assessment of the area are necessary to detect any bleeding or signs of infection to protect the cord area during each diaper change apply the appropriate agent so just triple dye alcohol or antimicrobial agent |
|
|
Teaching guidelines for umbilical cord care |
Observe from bleeding redness drainage or foul odor from the court stop avoid tub bath until court has fallen off expose the cord stump to the air as much as possible full diapers below the level of the court to prevent contamination of the site and to promote air drying observe the court stop which will change color from yellow to Brown to Black this is normal never pulled the cord or attempt to loosen it it will fall off naturally |

Back to sleep they sleep for two to four hours at a time but do not sleep through the night because their stomach pass it is too small to go long periods without nourishment they sleep up to 15 hours a day |
|
|
PKU testing |
Newborns need to ingest milk or formula to elevate femalelalamine levels for the screening to be accurate should not perform before 24 hours of age it is done for autosomal recessive inherited deficiency in one of the enzyme necessary for metabolism of phenylalanine to tyrosine essential amino acids found in most food |
|

|
|
Transient tachypnea of the newborn |
Abuse soon after birth occurs when the fetal liquid in the lungs is removed slowly or incompletely can be due to lack of thoracic squeezing that occurs during the Cesarean birth or diminished respiration effort if the mother is the central nervous system depressant medication prolonged labor microsomia of the fetus and maternal asthma also have been associated with this condition vaginal birth appears to be protective against transient tachypnea of the newborn |
|
|
Signs of transient tachypnea of the newborn |
Retractions expiratory grunting cyanosis and is relieved by low-dose oxygen therapy matamata respiration distress typically is present at birth or within 6 hours of birth transient tachypnea of the newborn is generally a self-limited disorder without significant morbidity unresolved over a 24 hour to 72 hour. |
|
|
Nursing interventions for transient tachypnea of the newborn |
Give oxygen and show warmth observe respiratory status frequently allowed time for the pulmonary capillaries in the lymphatic to remove two remaining fluid |
|
|
Physiology jaundice |
Very common in newborn demonstrating yellowish skin mucous membrane and sclera within the first 3 days of life it's a visible manifestation of hyperbilirubinemia result from the position of conjugated bilirubin pigment in the skin and mucous membrane factors contribute to it include increased bilirubin load because of polycythemia is short and shorten erythrocyte immature hepatic uptake and conjugation treatment is phototherapy. Feed baby 8 to 12 times do not give water |
|
|
Care of a newborn receiving phototherapy for jaundice |
Closely monitor body temperature and fluid and electrolyte balance document frequency character and consistency of stool monitor hydration status weight specific gravity of urine a urine output turn frequently to increase the infant's skin exposure to phototherapy observe Skin Integrity as a result of exposure to diarrhea and phototherapy lights provide eye protection to prevent corneal injury related to phototherapy exposure encourage parents to participate in their newborns care to prevent parent infant separation |
|
|
Breastfeeding positioning |
Football hold the mother holds the infant's back and shoulders in her palm and Tux the infant under her arm ear shoulder and hip in a straight line mother supports breast with her hand cradling position most commonly used mother holds the baby in the crook of her arm with the infant facing the mother the mother supports the breast with her opposite hand across the lap position mother places of pillow across the lab with the infant facing the mother the mother support the infant's back and shoulders with her poem to support the breast sideline position the mother lies on her side with a pillow supporting her back and another pillow supporting the newborn in the front |
|
|
Teaching guidelines for breastfeeding |
Set aside quiet place where you can relax sit in a comfortable chair a rocking chair listen to soothing music and sip in a Trish's drink initially nurse the newborn every few hours to stimulate the milk production watch for signals from the infant to indicate that he or she is hungry stimulate the rooting reflex look for signs indicating that the newborn has launched correctly hold a newborn closely facing the breast nursing infant on demand not on Rigid schedule feed every 2 to 3 hours with any 24-hour period for a total of eight to twelve feedings alternate the breast you offer the first identify with a safety pin and bra Veria position for each feeding to empty breast and reduce soreness look for signs that the newborn is getting enough milk such as 6 wet diapers or two to five loose yellow stools wake up the new one if he or she has Nurse less than 5 minutes for unwrapping by unwrapping him or her before removing the baby from the breast break the reference section by inserting a finger broke the infant to release Air of what supplemental formula avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine do not smoke while feeding always wash your hands before expressing or handling milk to store wear nursing bras |

|
Hep B newborns first immunization |
Given soon after birth the first dose can also be given by Age 2 months if the mother is HB negative is the mother is hpv-positive than the newborn should receive Hep B vaccine and Hep B immunoglobulin within 12 hours of birth |
